Abstract: A fuel injection control device is adapted for a fuel injection system including an injector and a high-pressure pump that raises pressure of fuel and supplies the fuel to the injector. The fuel injection control device includes a selecting unit for selecting by which one of full lift injection and partial injection to inject fuel, and a pump control unit for controlling operation of the high-pressure pump such that a pressure of fuel supplied to the injector coincides with a target pressure. The selecting unit selects the partial injection when a required injection quantity of fuel is equal to or smaller than a partial maximum injection quantity. A fuel injection system includes the fuel injection control device, the injector, and the high-pressure pump.

Abstract: A current control unit in a fuel injection device controls a magnitude of a current flowing through a coil during single energization. A current Ip1 flows once a signal input to the current control unit is turned ON at time t11. As a result, a movable core and a needle abut against each other with a lift amount increased at time t12, and then the needle is separated from a valve seat and pre-injection is performed. At time t13, which follows the pre-injection, the needle and movable core lift amount becomes a lift amount D1 at a time when the needle and the valve seat abut against each other, and temporary valve closing occurs. At time t14, which follows time t13, currents Ix1 and Im1 larger than the current Ip1 are caused to flow through the coil, and then main injection is performed with the needle and movable core lift amount turned into a lift amount D2 larger than the lift amount D1. Therefore, fuel injection can be performed twice during the single energization.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve includes: a circular plate portion that is abuttable against an end surface of a needle opposite from a valve seat while the needle being provided to open and close an injection hole upon lifting and seating of the needle relative to the valve seat; and a tubular portion that extends from the circular plate portion toward the valve seat and has an end part, which is opposite from the circular plate portion and is abuttable against a movable core second contact surface of a movable core opposite from the valve seat. In a state where the circular plate portion abuts against the needle, and the tubular portion abuts against the movable core, a gap is formed between a flange member end surface of a flange of the needle and a movable core first contact surface of the movable core opposite from the valve seat.

In a use state where a body is inserted in an attachment hole formed at a predetermined position of the engine and a gas pressure that is equal to or higher than a predetermined pressure is applied to the seal material from its nozzle hole-side, the seal material is pressed against a first tapered part by the gas pressure to be compressively deformed, and a clearance between an inner peripheral surface of the attachment hole and an outer peripheral surface of the body is sealed with a compressively-deformed part of the seal material. A taper angle of the first tapered part is set in a range from 10 degrees to 20 degrees.
